For decades, Dr. Reinhard Palovcik explored the human brain, the universe, listened to avant-garde music (from Sakamoto to The Residents to Blues to Cage), adored books (Bukowski to Mishima) and cinema (Herzog, Kurosawa, Kubrick, and so on.) He was a collector and had thousands of rare CDs, movies, records, photos, journals, and recordings. He photographed the Gainesville arts scene for many years and wrote and recited poetry in and around Gainesville. Before his untimely departure from planet Earth, he asked me to preserve his work and the works of those he admired in the scene. This is the beginning of what has been a years-long project, and this work will continue. This page is dedicated to Ron, and his love of art, music, literature, the human mind, love, outer space, and lots and lots of high quality sushi.
